Galatians 5
1 Stand firm therefore in the freedom with which Christ has made us free, and do not be burdened again with a yoke of slavery.
Se pou n' te ka lib tout bon kifè Kris la te delivre nou. Se poutèt sa, ann rete fèm nan libète sa a. Veye kò nou pou n' pa tounen esklav ankò.
2 Listen! I, Paul, say to you that if you get circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
Tande byen. Men sa mwen menm Pòl m'ap di nou: Si nou kite yo sikonsi nou, sa vle di Kris la pa sèvi nou anyen.
3 Further, I testify again to every man who gets circumcised that he is obligated to keep the whole law.
M'ap repete sa m' te di deja pou tout moun ki kite yo sikonsi yo: si yo fè sa, y'ap blije fè tou sa lalwa Moyiz la mande.
4 You who are ‘being justified’ by law have been alienated from the Christ; you have fallen away from the grace.
Moun ki kwè Bondye ap fè yo gras paske yo fè sa lalwa a mande, yo vire do bay Kris la. Yo pèdi favè Bondye a.
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
Pou nou menm, nou gen espwa Bondye va fè nou gras paske nou gen konfyans nan li. Se sa menm n'ap tann, gremesi pouvwa Lespri Bondye a k'ap travay nan nou.
6 Because in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
Paske, lè n'ap viv ansanm ak Kris la, kit nou sikonsi, kit nou pa sikonsi, sa pa fè anyen. Sa ki konsekan an se pou nou gen konfyans nan Bondye, yon konfyans k'ap fè nou viv ak renmen nan kè nou.
7 You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?
Nou te konmanse byen pwòp. Ki moun ki rete nou sou kous nou, k'ap anpeche nou obeyi verite a?
8 This persuasion is not from Him who calls you.
Bagay yo te di pou yo te ka pran tèt nou, se pa bagay ki soti nan Bondye k'ap rele nou an.
9 A little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough.
Pa bliye pawòl la: Se ti kal ledven ki fè tout pa t' la leve.
10 I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will not think differently; but he who troubles you will bear the penalty, whoever he may be.
Men, Seyè a fè m' gen konfyans nan nou, li ban m' lasirans nou p'ap fè lòt lide, n'ap dakò avè mwen. Men, kanta moun k'ap boulvèse nou an, li te mèt sa l' te ye, Bondye gen pou peni li.
11 But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that event the offense of the cross would have been removed.
Pou mwen menm, frè m' yo, si m' t'ap mande pou moun sikonsi toujou, poukisa y'ap pèsekite m' jouk koulye a? Epitou, nan ka sa a, mesaj m'ap bay lè m'ap anonse Kris la ki mouri sou kwa a pa ta bay pesonn okazyon bite.
12 I do wish that those who are upsetting you would just remove themselves!
Kanta moun k'ap boulvèse nou konsa sou keksyon sikonsizyon an, yo ta mèt tou fè chatre yo fin ak sa.
13 Now you, brothers, have been called to freedom; only do not use that freedom as an opening for the flesh, but slave for one another through love.
Kanta nou menm, frè m' yo, Bondye te rele nou pou n' te ka gen libète nou. Sèlman, pa pran libète a sèvi eskiz pou nou viv dapre egzijans lachè. Okontrè, se pou nou yonn sèvi lòt nan renmen nou yonn gen pou lòt.
14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, namely: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Paske tou sa lalwa mande nou, nou jwenn yo nan kòmandman sa a: Se pou ou renmen frè parèy ou, menm jan ou renmen tèt pa ou.
15 But if you bite and tear at each other, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
Men, si yonn ap mòde lòt, yonn ap devore lòt tankou bèt sovaj, atansyon pou yonn pa touye lòt tou!
16 I say then: walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Se poutèt sa, men sa m'ap di nou: Kite Lespri Bondye dirije lavi nou. Pa obeyi egzijans kò a.
17 Because the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh; they oppose each other; it follows that you may not do the things that you wish.
Kò a gen egzijans ki pa dakò ak egzijans Lespri Bondye a. Konsa tou, Lespri Bondye a gen egzijans ki pa dakò ak egzijans kò a. Se de bagay ki pa mache ansanm menm. Se sak fè nou pa kapab fè sa nou vle.
18 However, if you are led by the Spirit you are not under law.
Men, si se Lespri Bondye a k'ap dirije lavi nou, nou pa anba lalwa ankò.
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, namely: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
Se fasil pou nou wè sa egzijans kò a fè moun fè: se imoralite, malpwòpte ak vis.
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, fits of anger, selfish ambition, dissentions, factions,
Se sèvi zidòl, se fè maji, se yonn fè lòt lènmi, se fè kont, fè jalouzi, fè kòlè, se yonn pa vle wè lòt, se fè ti pil gwo pil.
21 envyings, murders, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like; about which I am warning you beforehand, as, in fact, I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Yonn anvye sò lòt, yo tafyatè, yo saf konsa, ak yon bann lòt bagay ankò y'ap fè. Mwen deja di nou sa, epi m'ap repete l' ankò pou nou: moun ki fè tout bagay sa yo p'ap antre menm nan peyi kote Bondye wa a.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Men, Lespri Bondye a bay renmen, kè kontan, kè poze, pasyans, bon kè, seriozite, li fè ou gen bon manyè.
23 gentleness, self-control—against such things there is no law.
Li fè ou aji ak dousè, li fè ou konn kontwole kò ou. Lalwa Moyiz la pa kont okenn nan bagay sa yo.
24 Further, those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Moun ki moun Jezikri, yo fè kò a mouri ansanm ak tout egzijans li yo, ak tout lanvi li yo.
25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us also conform to the Spirit.
Se Lespri Bondye a ki ban nou lavi, se pou n' kite li dirije lavi nou nan tout bagay.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Pa kite lògèy moute nou nan tèt. Piga yonn chache lòt kont. Piga yonn rayi sò lòt.
